11
Functions
•Enables connection to peripherals (barcode scanners, etc) via a USB or serial interface.
•The Epson ePOS SDK is provided for iOS, Android and Windows application, and Web
application development.
The Epson ePOS SDK is a software development kit that integrates the ePOS-Print SDK and the
ePOS-Device SDK. It is recommended that applica
SDK is migrated to the Epson ePOS SDK. For detail, refer to the Migration Guide included with
the Epson ePOS SDK.
*1
• Uses the communication box
function to enable communications between applications. This
function allows for communications, etc. between tablet terminals. (ePOS-Device SDK,
ePOS-Device XML)
•Supports Server Direct Print that sends a request for print data from the product to the Web server
at regular
intervals.
•Since print data can be saved in the spooler, applications can be released from processing print
jobs regardless of the printer status.
*2
•When a network printer is registered, print forwarding process can be realized. Also, if the printer
is not ready to print, you can print from another printer.
•Device data notification function is realized, allowing for notifications to be sent from devices
such as barcode scanners to Web servers to trigger applications.
•Equipped with Web server that supports the scripting language "PHP" and database "SQLite3".
tion software developed with the ePOS-Device

•Enables HTTPS *3 communication.
•Supports TLS 1.2. SSL3.0 is not supported.

*1: For more information on the communication box, see the ePOS-Device SDK for iOS User's
Manual, the ePOS-Device SDK for Android User's Manual, the ePOS-Device SDK for JavaScript
User's Manual, and the ePOS-Device XML User's Manual.
*2: TM-i firmware Ver. 4.1 or later.
*3: TM-i firmware Ver. 4.3 or later.
*4: TM-i firmware Ver. 4.4 or later.

Before turning on the product, be sure to check that the AC adapter is connected to the
power supply.
CAUTION
After the product is turned on, it requires about 30 seconds until it is ready to print.
Power Switch Cover
Install the power switch cover that comes with the TM-T83II-i onto the printer to prevent
inadvertent changing of the power switch, to prevent tampering, and to improve the appearance of
the printer.
To operate the power switch, insert an object with a pointed tip such as a ballpoint pen into the hole
on the power switch cover.
A waterproof cover for the power switch is also included.
If an accident occurs with the power switch cover attached, unplug the power cord
immediately.
WARNING
Continued use of the printer may cause fire or electric shock.

turned off. NV memory contains the following memory areas for the user:
•NV graphics memory
•Memory switches (customized value)
•R/E (Receipt Enhancement)
•Maintenance counter
As a guide, NV memory rewriting should be 10 times or less a day when you program
applications.
CAUTION
NV Graphics Memory
Graphics, such as shop logos to be printed on receipts, can be stored.
Use the TM-T83II Utility to register graphics.
To check the registered graphics, select [Operation Check] - [Print Logo] in TM-T83II Utility.
